Re: [PATCH] hvc_console: fix dropping of characters when output byte channel is full

Yes, hvc_push() reschedules.  It doesn't sit in a tight loop burning
electrons!

Can we do something safer&smarter here?

Its a printk handler - better to lose the bytes than hang the box. I
think the current code is probably right.
